Incidently, it is to be stated that under many conditions the liquid employed is somewhat of a pasty nature for which reason the screen is particularly important in insuring an orderly maintenance and restricted discharge, of the chemical vapors.

In the right hand end of the tube as seen in Fig. 1, is a plug which is constructed to accommodate a spring pressed ball check valve 33 providing a chamber for introducing the chemical solution. formed with a pintle or journal as at 34 mounted for rotation in the aforesaid upright 18.

I next call attention to the numeral 35 which designates generally a jacket including complemental sections 36 and 37 hingedly connected together by a spring hinge as at 28. These sections embrace the cartridge 26. The end portions 39 of the cartridge are shaped to form bearings for the cylindrical end portions 40 of this jacket. Incidentally, the jacket is intended to provide a container for the usual flannel pad (not shown) which is saturated in the conventional way with a chemical solution.

In practice, the electrical source of supply is connected with a fitting 30 to operate the heating element 32 within the cartridge. The

portion of hair to be treated is brought up between the sections 9 and 10 of the clamping device when they are in the open position seen in Figure t and is then wrapped appropriately around the cartridge 26.

The chemical solution is introduced into the cartridge by way of the valved'inlet 33. An important feature to be noted in this connection is the discharging of the chemical steam through the discharge ports 28 for conditioning the hair in an edective and characteristic manner. Assuming that the cartridge is assembled on the clamping frame, the jacket 35 is placed in position, and prior to thisthe usual flannel pad is saturated and j placed therein to surround the hair which has been previously Wound on the cartrid e.

The entire device as a whole rests upon t e head with the rubber pads ll and 14 bearing thereagainst as a protective means. The pawl and ratchet means serves to hold the cartridge in a set position to prevent unwinding of the hair.

It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.

Minor changes in shape, size, and rearrangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice if desired.
